Raising his eyebrows, Geezer Shi squinted his eyes and slowly opened them. His turbid eyes turned silver, cold and crystal clear, reflecting Lou Cheng's figure in the depths of his eyes.
After pondering for a while, he frowned and the light in his eyes faded. He put his hands behind his back and left Lou Cheng's side. After taking a few steps, he looked back again and continued to patrol as if nothing had happened and he hadn't seen anything.
The first still stance was the most boring, which made the body feel tired and sore easily. Geezer Shi checked his watch and coughed after half an hour.
"Stop. That's all for the first still stance."
To Lou Cheng, his voice seemed to be floating from the horizon, illusory and unreal. However, Lou Cheng could only reluctantly withdraw from the state of "Perfect Unity". The noise around him and the men and women in reality were like tides rolling in again, filling his senses once again. Another two levels of heaven!
"Yin-Yang Stance is so f * * king tiring." Cai Zongming complained to Lou Cheng while taking turns to move his legs.
"Yeah, but it's also quite interesting." Lou Cheng imitated his movements. He couldn't say that he could stand until the end of time, could he?
After that, Geezer Shi asked Chen Changhua to demonstrate and explain one of the Martial Arts Club's Moving Stance, which was the training routine. He gave everyone an hour to master and practice it, which could be used to stretch and temper the body, and to integrate coordination with nature into instinct.
During the whole process, he sat leisurely in the ring with a cigarette in his mouth. His leisurely appearance made people want to spit at him.
"Okay, we'll divide into two groups from here. Those on my right will follow Chen Changhua to the strength training gym to train their muscles, and those on my left will follow Chen Changhua to train their footwork. After 40 minutes, we'll switch." Geezer Shi looked at his watch, jumped off the ring and pointed to the center of the group.
Lou Cheng and Cai Zongming were on Geezer Shi's right, so they followed the crowd to the strength training gym behind the ring.
When they passed by Geezer Shi, Lou Cheng tripped on something with his right foot and staggered forward.
The sudden change scared him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was about to fall to the ground and nothing could stop him.
However, when he was in the air, he could feel the subtle changes in his muscles, just like when he was in meditation. Instinctively, he wriggled and adjusted his body's center of gravity.
With one foot on the ground, he straightened his spine and pulled his body forward. He took a few steps forward and finally stabilized himself. He didn't end up being a laughingstock.
Looking back, he saw a sea of unfamiliar faces. He couldn't find any clues as to why he nearly tripped.
"Cheng, are you alright?" Cai Zongming was also shocked.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. I don't know what I tripped over just now." Lou Cheng shook his head and replied. He didn't dwell on it and continued forward.
In the crowd, Geezer Shi was holding a cigarette in his right hand. He looked at Lou Cheng's back and nodded thoughtfully.
In the strength training gym, Lou Cheng was devastated. He thought that with the Jindan, he could push the previously unreachable barbell. However, it was still unreachable.
"It seems that there are only two uses for the Jindan. The first is to recover fatigue and eliminate soreness. The second is to help me enter meditation, understand and master the subtle changes in my body, and improve coordination. It's good for practicing footwork, but it can't improve my strength, speed, and agility …" Lou Cheng thought about how he nearly fell and silently summarized the benefits of the Jindan. Then, he became more and more immersed in the strength training. Relying on his fast recovery and light fatigue, he exercised all his muscles intensively and comprehensively, hoping to improve his strength quickly in a short time. Cai Zongming was stunned and couldn't believe that Lou Cheng was like this.
…
After the strength and footwork training, Lou Cheng was still sweating even though he had the heat flow from the Jindan to make up for his consumption and to get rid of his fatigue. He wanted to find Yan Zheke, chat with her, and then take Cai Zongming to take a shower. However, before Geezer Shi could announce the end of the martial arts class, Chen Changhua, the president, walked out of the line.
"Coach Shi, I want to participate in the Ranking Event, but I lack the necessary actual combat practice." Chen Changhua paused for a moment before turning around to look at Lin Que. Then, he smiled faintly and said, "That's why I wish to challenge Junior Brother Lin Que. I hope you can be the judge so as to avoid any injuries. That would be bad."
Many members of the Martial Arts Club gasped when they heard this. Although Chen Changhua had clearly shown his dissatisfaction with Lin Que during the Welcoming Ceremony, as if two tigers could not live on the same mountain, no one had expected that he would directly challenge Lin Que in the first class.
Was he so confident?
Had he already reached the level of Professional Ninth Pin and there was no longer a gap between ranks?
Lou Cheng didn't expect Chen Changhua to be so anxious. He looked sideways at Cai Zongming and then at Yan Zheke. Unfortunately, he couldn't find them because of the crowd.
Cai Zongming sighed and said, "I didn't expect this chimpanzee to have a brain. He knows to challenge as early as possible."
"Ah?" Lou Cheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Cai Zongming in confusion, waiting for an explanation.
"Before reaching the 'Danqi' stage, height and sturdiness are a great advantage. If you make good use of it, you can pass the Professional Ranking Event and get the certificate of Ninth Pin even though you're only at the level of Amateur Second or Third Pin. Well, in terms of overall strength, you'll be a real Professional Ninth Pin fighter. Cai Zongming had received several years of formal martial arts education, so his analysis was clear and logical. "Lin Que is a genius fighter. He reached the Professional Ninth Pin at the age of 18. Give him two, three, or even half a year, and he may be able to go further. Even if he can't reach the Danqi stage, he'll definitely make more progress than the chimpanzee. The gap between them will only widen."
"So Chen Changhua wants to take advantage of the gap between them to challenge Lin Que, beat him hard, and leave a psychological shadow on him so that he can maintain his position before graduation." Lou Cheng suddenly understood.
"Psychological shadow? You've read too many novels. " Cai Zongming glanced at Lou Cheng. "But if Chen Changhua uses this victory to build up his momentum and connect his willpower, he may be able to go further. Well, he should be confident that he's at the level of Professional Ninth Pin, otherwise he wouldn't challenge him directly."
While they were discussing, Geezer Shi looked at Lin Que with a smile.
"Do you want to accept the challenge?"
"Okay." Lin Que answered coldly, without a trace of emotion.
Chen Changhua turned around and smiled "politely". He strode to the ring. As he stepped on the ring, his whole momentum changed. He was like a fierce tiger with its claws open, or a water buffalo with its head lowered.
"To be able to become the president of the Martial Arts Club, he does have some real skills …" Lou Cheng thought to himself and shifted his gaze to Lin Que.
Lin Que wiped the sweat off his face and walked towards the ring unhurriedly. His white training clothes made him look handsome and handsome. His cold temperament attracted everyone's attention.
Lin Que didn't change his momentum when he stepped on the ring. He stood straight and looked at Chen Changhua expressionlessly.
When Geezer Shi came slowly and stood beside him as the referee, Chen Changhua saluted and said, "Junior Brother Lin, please enlighten me."
Because his rank was lower than Lin Que's, he took the initiative to attack. He crouched and staggered like a poisonous snake, pouncing on Lin Que from left to right.
"The gorilla's footwork is good." Cai Zongming, who was beside Lou Cheng, praised. No one expected that Chen Changhua, who was known for his strength and physique, would have such agile footwork. The combination of the two was more than one plus one. No wonder he dared to challenge Lin Que.
Lin Que took a sideways step with his left foot, as if to avoid Chen Changhua's pounce. But when his left foot touched the ground, Chen Changhua suddenly changed his footwork. He kicked with his right foot, and with his shoulder and arm as a corner, fiercely hit the position where Lin Que was trying to dodge. His momentum was extremely fierce, like a mad bull!
Low screams suddenly sounded from all directions. They were all worried about Lin Que. The fierceness of this hit made them tremble with fear. Lou Cheng also doubted that if he were in Lin Que's position, even if he was in a blocking position, his arm and ribs would be broken and he would be sent flying.
This was the level of a Professional Ninth Pin fighter!
And it was Chen Changhua's strong point and Lin Que's weak point!
At this moment, Lin Que's waist and back bounced, and his spine moved like a snake. Before his left foot completely touched the ground, his center of gravity returned to his right foot. With this as the axis, he turned around and circled to Chen Changhua's back. He raised his left hand and briefly and powerfully struck backward with his elbow.
His movement just now was a feint, a trap!
Chen Changhua missed his target and heard the sound of air breaking behind him. He had to harden his heart and take advantage of the momentum to move forward. He jumped on the ground and rolled lazily to avoid the elbow that was aimed at his back.
While rolling, he tried to bounce up with his waist and abdomen. Lin Que slid to his side and then whipped out his right foot like a whip. There was a crisp sound in the air!
Bam!
Chen Changhua put his palms horizontally in front of his body to block the whip kick. But he still moved back half a meter. The web between his thumb and forefinger was all split open and bleeding.
Lin Que was not going to let him go. He whipped his legs again and again, all of which were not higher than the knees. With crisp sounds, he kept hitting Chen Changhua's hands. Bam!
Bam! Bam!
Chen Changhua was pushed to the edge of the arena. His hands were badly mangled.
He fell to the ground with a blank face, as if he could not believe that he had lost so easily. He did not even have the chance to use his best throwing skill.
The whole martial arts arena was silent for a few seconds and then burst into enthusiastic cheers. They were singing for the real Mighty Ones!
Lou Cheng turned his head and saw Yan Zheke cheering excitedly with her hands raised high.
"Awesome. I, Cai Zongming, am convinced. Professional Ninth Pin is really amazing." Little Ming murmured to himself.
Lou Cheng withdrew his gaze and felt quite complicated. When he recalled the duel just now, he suddenly thought of something.
Wasn't the feint that Lin Que used to win the match the application of Yin-Yang Stance?
The key point of Yin-Yang Stance, he felt very clearly, was to coordinate the whole body and use force as one. When practiced to the extreme, it was the Danqi State.
Lin Que obviously mastered this aspect. His coordination and control of his body were terrifyingly good. Didn't you see it?
He should be close to the Danqi State, close to Professional Eighth Pin …
Lin Que nodded to Geezer Shi and walked down the arena. He did not even look at Chen Changhua and went to the locker room. Chen Changhua's best friend, another amateur master, Wu Dong, finally woke up. He ran out of the crowd and helped Chen Changhua up from the ground.
…
At lunch, Lou Cheng had a big appetite and ate twice as much as usual. Cai Zongming and Qiu Zhigao were almost the same. A lot of practice was naturally accompanied by a lot of consumption, so they needed a lot of replenishment. Of course, they did not eat until after one o 'clock because they were too tired before.
While waiting for the two to eat, Lou Cheng logged into QQ and chatted with Yan Zheke for a while. The conversation was still vivid in his mind when he had class in the afternoon.
"Lin Que is really awesome!" He took the initiative to start a topic.
"Yes, yes! I believed he would win, but I didn't expect him to win so easily! "Yan Zheke sent an emoji of a head nodding like a chicken pecking rice.
Lou Cheng felt a little jealous and said with emotion, "I don't know when I can be as awesome as him …"
Yan Zheke sent an emoji of shining white teeth. "Do you want to hear the truth or the lie?"
"What's the truth? What's the lie? "Lou Cheng asked curiously.
Yan Zheke sent a lively and cute emoji. "The lie is that if you insist on the special training every day, rain or shine, and with the guidance of Coach Shi, you have the hope to get a Professional Ninth Pin certificate by the time you graduate in your senior year, and be as awesome as Lin Que is now."
"Well, I didn't expect you to think so highly of me." Lou Cheng sent a shy emoji. "What's the truth?"
Yan Zheke sent a sneering emoji. "The truth? You can't persist until your senior year. There will be more courses and the pressure of employment. How will you have so much time to participate in the special training? And the Professional Ninth Pin won't be able to enter the martial arts circle by the time you graduate. Well, everyone has their own future. It doesn't have to be martial arts. "
Everyone has their own future. It doesn't have to be martial arts … Lou Cheng looked at the slides in front of him, and this sentence flashed through his mind repeatedly.
If he did not take the risk to get the Jindan, perhaps this sentence would be the best explanation for him …
